The winners were announced today during the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday show, and Coventry City striker Leon Best was named Coca-Cola Championship Player of the Month for September.

Our own Kevin Nolan was one of the four nominations for player of teh month, with Matty Fryatt – Striker – Leicester City and Grant McCann – Midfielder – Scunthorpe United the other two nominations.

Hughton told the Evening Chronicle before the award was announced today:

“At this stage in the season, we’re absolutely delighted to be where we are.” “Did we think we could be at this point at this stage of the season?”

“We didn’t know, because we didn’t know what the league held in store for us.” “There was also the situation with players here – we didn’t know who was coming or going.”

“Taking all that into consideration, we’re delighted to be where we are, but one thing you can’t do is get too carried away.””

And after the announcement of the award today, Chris told Sky Sports:

“It’s very pleasing, but it’s very much an award for this group of lads and the staff I’ve got working with me. It’s very much a team award.”

“I’m certainly enjoying it at the moment. It’s very difficult not to when you’ve got a group of lads performing as they are, and we’re at the right end of the table.”

“But I know there are going to be difficult times ahead of us. There are times when we’re going to be stretched and perhaps we’re going to get the injuries that other teams have already had this season.”

“I’ve enjoyed the challenge, and it has been a real challenge at times, but there are certain aspects which have been made easier by the staff that we have and the group of players that we have.”

There’s no doubt Chris has done a great job since he took over the club on July 1st, with Newcastle again in a state of shambles and utter turmoil.

But Chris has managed to get 7 wins and 23 points from the first 10 games, to have Newcastle 3 points clear at the top of the league.

Chris represents distinct class and integrity amid the turmoil at the club, and the bare-faced lies the club has been telling their fans for over a year now.

And after yesterday’s news on the Keegan win over the club, 3 points today is what all Newcastle fans are hoping for.

Hearty congratulations to Chris, on a job well done – now keep it up! 😀

I remember a lot of negative comments when he was first brought here as, allegedly, part of the Tottenham mafia. It’s real credit to him he has took all the bad stuff and just got on with the job. We still need more Ipswich type performances though for all of the season, any slip ups and he will probably be back in the doghouse, which would be a pity.

go on hotclix then tino and find out for yourself. they streaming pretty much every game m8 ————————————————————– They don’t work, people post links every week on sites like that and livefootballblogspot, but the links just take you to another page or a site where you have to pay.

If the game isn’t being shown on any UK or foreign channel then it can’t be streamed.

Never pay for a link because if the match is on then it will be on free sites like justin tv, ustream, myp2peu, p2p4u, sopcast and adthe.

Well done CH, and kudos for sticking at it. Unfortunately, in my eyes, you still have a long way to go to make up for all those games you were in charge last season, and for all those miles i clocked up going to various away grounds and watching you fumble around with your clipboard. However, by winning games you are going the right way about trying to make amends…… But i wonder how much of it is because some of the players we have are a step above this league????

Thanks for posting the bbc link, but they’re blocked outside of the UK. Anybody have otherideas on links for radio or other? ———- I’m not sure there are too many other options tbh – I mentioned on one of the other threads that we can’t get the radio commentary outside of the UK, so I recommended the BBC live text service instead

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
